Drawing over 15,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments, the find excited the internet and set off a feeling of nostalgia.
“When it saw the light of day again, I was extremely surprised by the discovery and posted it on Reddit, thinking a few people would find it, well, mildly interesting.”
Reddit user Bitbatgaming asked the poster: “Did you invest in the company,” to which he responded: “I wasn’t born for five years!”
It’s unclear whether the poster is keeping the box is pride of place, but some users suggested it may be a good money maker in itself: “Sell it on eBay” wrote one user. But another said: “Pretty crazy to think that a box could be worth something.”
“The box is back down in the basement and probably won’t be needed again for several years,” said Patrick: “Some people say it’s worth something, but that’ll only grow with time, and right now it’s doing a fine job holding old bits of fabric and some zippers.”
